      1/2   c            Flour
    1       tb           Cocoa
    2       ts           Sugar
    1       d            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.
