Chocolate Irish Coffee image

I adjusted the preparation of a recipe of the same title that I found on In Mama's Kitchen website, to boost the chocolate taste. I tried making this using a dried premium cocoa powder and it was OK; it was much better using melted dark chocolate because it had a depth and richness that was lacking with the dried cocoa powder. The original recipe called for 2 teaspoons creme de menthe, but I thought it was a bit overpowering, so I cut it back to 1 teaspoon and thought it was just right, a subtle hint of the mint yet not so proiminent that the other flavors were lost.
