The fire service added that they had also received a report of a fire.
The crash took place on Interstate 80 near Knowlton Township in New Jersey, US, at 10.17 pm last Monday (15 Sept).
The authorities closed all westbound lanes until the lorry drivers had been attended to by paramedics.
Both drivers said they did not require medical treatment and were not taken to any nearby health centres.
The freeway lanes remained closed for nearly two hours while the sugary treats were cleared from the scene, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The fire department thanked the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Traffic Incident Management teams for their assistance.
One local joked, “Any volunteers needed to clean this mess, lol.”
“I hope no one had a peanut allergy,” added David.
Timothy said, “What a sweet accident, just in time for Halloween!”
Mike added, “When people ask what started the Great Peanut M&M’s Shortage of 2025, historians will point to this.”
