Aztec was a chocolate bar produced by Cadbury's from 1967.[2] It was made of nougat and caramel covered with milk chocolate and was sold in a deep purple wrapper.[3] The Aztec was created by Cadbury's to compete with the Mars Bar, but it was discontinued in 1978.[4]

The Aztec was briefly revived as Aztec 2000 in 2000, but was discontinued again soon after.[5][6]

The Moro is a similar Cadbury product, first sold in New Zealand in the 1960s, that was a much more successful competitor to the Mars Bar.[7]
