Hi Deborah - here is a recipe for chocolate crepes. Years ago I saw a TV chef (can't remember which one, now) make the traditional crepes suzette recipe using chocolate crepes - it looked delicious! (although the recipe that this is from sounds great too: chocolate mint souffle filling and chocolate sauce.....wow.....)

For the chocolate crêpe batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

To make crêpes:
melted unsalted butter for brushing the pan
crêpe batterIn a blender or food processor blend the flour, the cocoa, the sugar, the salt, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, the milk, the eggs, and the butter for 5 seconds. Turn off the motor, with a rubber spatula scrape down the sides of the container, and blend the batter for 20 seconds more. Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it stand, covered for 1 hour. The batter may be made

1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes enough batter for about 18 crêpes.

Heat a crêpe pan or non-stick skillet measuring 6 to 7 inches across the bottom over moderate heat until it is hot. Brush the pan lightly with the butter, heat it until it is hot but not smoking, and remove it from the heat. Stir the batter, half fill a 1/4-cup measure with it, and pour the batter into the pan. Tilt and rotate the pan quickly to cover the bottom with a layer of batter and return any excess batter to bowl. Return the pan to the heat, loosen the edge of the crêpe with a spatula, and cook the crêpe for 1 minute, or until the top appears almost dry. Turn the crêpe, cook the other side lightly, and transfer the crêpe to a plate. Make crêpe with the remaining batter in the same manner, brushing the pan lightly with butter as necessary. The crêpes may be made 3 days in advance, kept stacked, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.

Makes 8 crepes.
