• Pour 2/3 of chocolate sauce over wafer mixture.
• Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
• Carefully spread softened ice cream (Mary's recipe says to cut in sticks and lay on top of nuts, but that kind of box is hard to find anymore). I use a wide spoon and put fairly thin chunks across the surface, then smooth it out a little to make sure all the chocolate is covered.
• Pour rest of chocolate sauce over the ice cream.
• Sprinkle with remaining wafer mixture.
