i guess so
aux refers to one person and (des) refers to several
aux --------- one
des --------- several or some

Bonjour Tracy.
The word "aux" is a contraction of "à + les". Often foods such as this use "à la" or "aux" when describing for example what kind or flavor of pie or ice-cream it is.
J'espère que cela vous aide - I hope this helps!
À la prochaine!
