Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute to melt, then stir until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and salt. Stir to combine.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out portions of the chocolate mixture and roll into balls.
Roll each truffle in your desired coating (cocoa powder, chopped nuts, sprinkles).
Store truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
You can add liqueurs like Grand Marnier or espresso for flavor variations.
