     2 tb Cr#me de cacao


     2 tb ;Water


   1/2 ts Vanilla extract


     1 qt Ice cream, chocolate


          Chocolate cr#pes

-----------------------------------CREPES-----------------------------------


   1/2 c  Flour


     1 tb Cocoa


     2 ts Sugar


     1 ds Salt


   3/4 c  Milk


   1/4 ts Almond extract


     1    Egg


     2 ts Butter; melted


          Oil





 Filling:  Combine chocolate chips and butter in the top of a double boiler;


 bring water to a boil.  Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring often, until


 chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add confectioners' sugar, Karo, creme de


 cacao, water, and vanilla, and stir until smooth.


 


 Spoon about 3 tablespoons ice cream down the center of each cr#pe; fold


 sides over, and place seam side with on serving dishes. Spoon warm


 chocolate sauce over each; sprinkle with pecans.


 


 Cr#pes:  Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt.  Add milk and almond


 extract; beat until smooth.  Add egg and beat well; stir in butter.


 Refrigerate 2 hours.


 


 Brush bottom of a 6" cr#pe pan or heavy skillet with oil; place over medium


 heat until just hot, not smoking.


 


 Pour 2 tablespoons batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so


 batter covers the pan in a thin film. Cook 1 minute or until lightly


 browned.


 


 Lift edge of cr#pe to test for doneness.  Cr#pe is ready for flipping when


 it can be shaken loose from the pan. Flip the cr#pe, and cook about 30


 seconds on the other side. (This side is rarely more than spotty brown, and


 is the side on which the filling is placed.) Place cr#pes on a towel to


 cool.  Stack between layers of waxed paper to prevent sticking. Repeat


 until all batter is used.
