Heat cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat until it lightly boils.
Place chopped chocolate into a glass bowl. Pour cream over chocolate, cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Leave the chocolate alone for 5 minutes.
Remove towel and whisk until smooth. Add in vanilla and mix well. Place bowl into refrigerator covered for 2-3 hours.
Remove chocolate ganache from refrigerator and use a 1 inch cookie scoop (or spoon) to scoop ganache. Roll with your hands into a rounded ball.
Place a toothpick into the ball and dip into tempered chocolate. Place on a cooling rack and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Repeat until all ganache is used. Allow to cool and harden for 5 minutes.
Take chocolates and place into container to create custom homemade chocolate gift boxes.
Notes
- Chocolate: a good quality chocolate can be the most helpful to make a good ganache.- Tempering chocolate can be difficult. I suggest watching a video on how to do this best. You also can do without this on the outside if needed.
