Notes
- If you like your Krokan sweeter, add extra granulated sugar to the mixture before baking.
- For a crunchier texture, sprinkle crushed nuts on top of the Krokan before baking.
- Add a dash of cinnamon for an extra hint of flavour!
- You can also try adding other types of nuts such as walnuts or pecans for an interesting twist on the classic recipe.
