i presume in your situation the girl used the slang phrase "za krepati" to confirm that what you were doing was smart (How smart!), and that she was sort of amused, pleasantly surprised... positive wonder; but it really depends on what you were doing :)) ...
the phrase often goes with laughing too... meaning ... die laughing, i just died or similar...

in the latter example meaning perhaps just ... how funny, odd, peculiar...

to die for
"Krepati" means "die". Outside slang, it is intended to be used primarily for animals, like "My dog died" (Krepao mi pas).

: the slang phrase "ZA krepati" does not mean this. When someone makes chocolate-peanut butter candies that are "za krepati" they are not smth to die for, they might be funny in their shape, or the way she does them might be strange or similar
