1. Begin by preparing the chocolate ganache filling. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
2. Place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over them. Allow it to sit for about 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
3. Stir the mixture gently until smooth and fully combined. Add the butter and vanilla extract, and continue stirring until the butter is melted and incorporated.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until the ganache is firm enough to scoop.
5. Once the ganache is ready, use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to scoop small portions and roll them into balls using your palms. Place the rolled balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Put the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the bon bons to firm up.
7. For coating, place the cocoa powder in a shallow dish. Take each chocolate bon bon and roll it in the cocoa powder until fully coated.
8. Slightly sprinkle sea salt over each bon bon as a final touch for flavor enhancement.
9. Once coated, store the gluten-free chocolate bon bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
