     1/2 c Chocolate chips; semi-sweet
       2 T Butter
     1/2 c Sugar, confectioners; sifted
     1/4 c Karo, light
       2 T Cr#me de cacao
       2 T ;Water
     1/2 t Vanilla extract
       1 qt Ice cream, chocolate
            Chocolate cr#pes
     1/2 c Pecans; chopped

-----------------------------------CREPES-----------------------------------
     1/2 c Flour
       1 T Cocoa
       2 t Sugar
       1 ds Salt
     3/4 c Milk
     1/4 t Almond extract
       1    Egg
       2 t 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.
