In a medium saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, and water. Bring to a moderate boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cranberries burst and soften (about 10 minutes).
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. Transfer to a shallow bowl to speed up the cooling process.
Form bite-sized pieces from the cooled cranberry sauce and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Dip each cranberry bite into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before returning them to the baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small pinch of coarse sea salt on each bite.
Refrigerate until the chocolate has fully set (about 30 minutes) before serving.

These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
