I'm thinking it could be translated as 'brittle'...anyway something to do with butter and almonds. Great picture!

using wiki and google translator leaves me with this strange explanation;
Krokan is a pastry, made of almond paste and egg white as piquancy out in decorative patterns and baked, which subsequently merged with the melted, caramelized sugar and assembled into a tower, usually of several storeys, then decorated with icing and marzipan roses. Usual at weddings in the past. The same ingredients used to make the Danish festbakverken kransekage.
