I don't personally recommend it here's why:
Commercially prepared dried fruit may contain added sulfur dioxide which can trigger asthma in sensitive individuals. The sulphur is added to "fix" the color of the product. If it can cause asthma in people it can't be very good for dogs IMO.

If its organic and contains no sulfur dioxide it should be okay in small amounts due to the high sugar content, otherwise id say no!

Raisins and grapes are not good for dogs!
