Systems and methods for preparing and dispensing food contents, typically molten chocolate. In one aspect, a device includes a housing defining a first volume； an inner wall positioned in the housing and bifurcating the first volume into separate second and third volumes； a pressure member operationally connected to the inner wall, where the pressure member is actuatable to move into the second volume； an aperture formed through the housing for fluidic communication with the second volume； an actuator operationally connected to the pressure member, a first deformable pouch positioned in the second volume, where the first deformable pouch includes a generally elongated fluid-tight enclosure, liquid chocolate substantially filling the fluid-tight enclosure, and a fluidic conduit extending through the fluid-tight enclosure. Device also includes a fluidic valve operationally connected to the fluidic conduit and positioned without the fluid-tight enclosure.
