Crispy would be knusprig.

Knusper could mean a couple of things.

It could be a conjugated form of the verb "knuspern", which means eating something crispy.

Knusper itself is also used in an entirely different context to express that someone is weird or has mental problems. Then you could say someone is not knusper or "nicht ganz knusper".

It can also be onomatopoeia for eating something crispy. So, imagine a comic where a hamster is nibbling away at a cracker, then above that can be written:

*Knusper* *Knusper*

(basically *Crunch* *Crunch*)

But yeah, thanks for the rest of the explanation. I chose this username essentially at random when signing up here, but it's been growing on me. Just a fun word in our language.
