In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the milk to the mixture while stirring until the dough forms a soft, cohesive ball. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour your work surface, then roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 3-inch squares.
Place a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of chopped dark chocolate in the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle or pouch shape, pinching the edges tightly to seal the dumplings.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil and cook the dumplings in batches for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with parchment paper.
In another saucepan, combine heavy cream and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the caramel sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
To serve, drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the chocolate-filled dumplings. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
