Prepare the marzipan filling by rolling it into 20 small balls, each approximately the size of a hazelnut.
Take each dried plum and gently cut a small slit into the side without slicing all the way through. Carefully stuff a marzipan ball into each plum, pressing gently to close the opening around the filling.
Set up a double boiler: fill a small pot with an inch or two of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top (ensuring the bowl does not touch the water) and add the dark chocolate and unsalted butter to the bowl.
Melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently, until smooth and glossy. Remove the bowl from the heat, but leave the pot of water simmering in case reheating is needed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each stuffed plum into the melted chocolate, using a fork to roll and coat it evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the plum onto the parchment-lined sheet.
While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle each plum with a tiny pinch of sea salt, if desired.
Allow the chocolate-coated plums to set completely. To speed up the process, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the plums to an airtight container. These treats can be stored at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
Serve the Sliwka Naleczowska W Czekoladzie as a delightful dessert, snack, or as a gift wrapped in decorative packaging.
