Begin by melting the vegan dark chocolate. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Add the chocolate to the bowl and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, warm the coconut cream over low heat. Once warm, stir in maple syrup, cashew butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-combined.
Allow the nutty mixture to cool slightly, then fold in cacao nibs or chopped nuts, reserving a little for garnish.
Using a small brush or the back of a spoon, coat the insides of a silicone mold or bonbon mold with a layer of the melted chocolate. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
Once the chocolate has set, fill each mold cavity with the nutty mixture, leaving a small gap at the top.
Pour more melted chocolate over the filling to seal each bonbon. Gently tap the mold to remove any air bubbles and level the tops.
Sprinkle the tops with the reserved cacao nibs or chopped nuts for garnish.
Place the mold in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Carefully remove the bon bons from the mold and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
