That's a crossword from an old booklet I have, and that's as far as I got... I can't find the answers page so I thought I ask you (extraordinary erudite folks) for help to finish it, or I won't be able to sleep tonight...

Excuse my untrained handwriting (and naturally I may have made mistakes).

Edit: the 2nd crossword http://img8.picsplace.to/img.php?file=img8/1/Crossword4.JPG (finished)

15 down = sweetsop

I thought that 25 across might be nougat, but that tangles with the second s in sweetsop.

well, sweetsop ain't got enough letters, so nougat may still be right...

Ah. Sweetener, with nougat as the across word.

And one across is strait jacket, which makes three down incorrect.
