In a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate, cream, butter, vanilla, and salt together until smooth and glossy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Prepare individual serving dishes or fondue pots for each guest. Fill with the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring it's warm but not too hot.
Serve alongside a platter of fresh berries for dipping.
