Yes, absolutely!
Just remember, the voltage drop across each LED must be added as the LEDs are in series. The number of LEDs it can drive will be limited by the source voltage and the maximum voltage the driver can handle.
Here is a quick hookup guide. It includes an example of putting the LEDs in series.
