a fluidic valve operationally connected to the fluidic conduit and positioned without the fluid-tight enclosure;

wherein the fluidic conduit extends through the aperture;

wherein the fluidic valve is positioned without the first volume;

wherein energization of the actuator urges the pressure member against the first deformable pouch; and

wherein when the actuator is energized, actuation of the valve allows chocolate to flow from the first deformable pouch.

10 . The content dispensing apparatus of claim 9 and further comprising an inner wall positioned in the housing and bifurcating the first volume into separate second and third volumes.

11 . The content dispensing apparatus of claim 9 and further comprising a cover member operationally connected to the housing, wherein engagement of the cover member with the housing substantially isolates the first volume from an outside environment; wherein engagement of the cover member creates a substantially pressure-tight seal defining a pressure vessel; and wherein disengagement of the cover member from the housing allows deformable pouches to be moved into and out of the first volumes

12 . The content dispensing apparatus of claim 11 wherein the pressure member is pressure vessel and wherein the actuator is a pump in fluidic communication with the pressure vessel.

13 . The content dispensing apparatus of claim 9 wherein the pressure member is an inflatable bag and wherein the actuator is a pump in fluidic communication with the inflatable bag.

14 . A content dispensing system, comprising:

an exterior container defining a container volume and surrounded by an exterior environment, wherein the container volume is further bounded by a bottom wall;

at least one exterior dispenser disposed through the exterior container and allowing fluidic communication between the container volume and the exterior environment;

at least one heating element disposed within the container volume and in thermal communication with the container volume;

a lid member operationally connectable to the exterior container to bound the container volume as a top wall;

at least one container void disposed within the container volume and capable of receiving at least one content container; and

at least one pressure member operationally connected to the lid member and operable to actuate between a pressurized state and an unpressurized state;

wherein the exterior dispenser is actuatable between a closed dispenser state and at least one open dispenser state; and

wherein during the closed dispenser state, the at least one exterior dispenser substantially isolates the container volume from the exterior environment.

15 . The content dispensing system of claim 14 , further comprising:

a rod operationally connected to and extending perpendicularly from the lid member;

a torsion member operationally connected to the rod and the pressure member; and

a lid seal at least partially surrounding the lid member;

wherein operationally connecting the lid member to the exterior container forces the torsion member, and in turn the pressure member, away from the rod.
