Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the instant coffee powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir until the coffee granules are fully dissolved and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Let the mixture cool slightly, but not enough that it starts to harden.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into small candy pieces.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let the candies set for at least 60 minutes or until they are firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the candies from the refrigerator and transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
