You can substitute other dried fruit, grade of coating(chocolate) , nuts, be sure to add a good crunchy 'hay': pretzels as listed here.; Oriental Noodles come to mind, I am sure there are others. The ingredients need to be able to take and harden with the coating with out dissolving or getting soggy. I make this when the packages are on super sale!

Here is how you make Chocolate Apricot Pretzel haystack:

cut dried apricots in to small dice (i use scissors). Course crush pretzels, add chopped nuts toss and set aside. Microwave chocolate 30 seconds at a time stirring between each session until melted and runny. Using a rubber spatula scrape the chocolate into the apricot mix and toss thoroughly. I use two bullion spoons to portion and shape servings, drop servings onto wax paper to cool. This can take several hours at room temperature, and definitely keep them out of a sunny window or overly warm environment.Number of Servings: 50Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WRDBRN.
