Set a large heatproof bowl over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Add the butter and chopped chocolate and stir occasionally until both are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in 3/4 cup of the sugar, the salt, and the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes — it should feel warm but not hot to the touch.
