As far as I know you can not use particles for collision. It's only a graphical effect.
You can try to mix sprites in the particles. You have to look how many, so that the sprites will really hit what you want.
I made a litte time ago something similar, maybe is useful for you:

Click on any of the blue boxes and it will explode and if the 'particles' hit a other box it will explode too. Double click anywhere will restart the layout.
I mixed 15 sprites in 100 particles in every explosion. You will see that sometimes it is not enough and a box will not explode, but to many sprites will affect the CPU Usage.
