24 graham cracker squares
6 tbsp. butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar
4 squares Baker's chocolate
4 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. pecan pieces
1 qt. mint ice cream

Soften ice cream at room temperature. Lightly grease side and bottom of large glass loaf pan. Crush crackers with rolling pin.

In a bowl, thoroughly mix crushed crackers, butter and sugar. Press mixture firmly into bottom and sides of loaf pan. At low heat (microwave is quick), melt 2 squares chocolate, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla together, stirring. Reserve 2 tablespoons nuts.

Add chocolate and nuts to ice cream and swirl for marbled effect. Pour into crust. Melt remaining chocolate, water and vanilla together and drizzle over loaf. Top with pecans. Freeze. Slice to serve. Serves 8.
