Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- While the butter is creaming, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and the salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the eggs, and the vanilla to the butter and sugar mixture. Once the eggs and vanilla are added and smooth, add the dry ingredients in 1/2 cup increments until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula, making sure everything is mixed together evenly. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch cake pan.
- Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Alternatively, put the chocolate in microwave safe bowl. Microwave on half power until soft, about 1 minute depending upon the power of your machine. Cool.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate, orange peel, and vanilla and mix until fully combined. Add in flour, salt, and baking powder in 3 parts alternating with the milk to make a thick batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the middle of the oven until a tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
- Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar and with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully insert a 4-inch lollipop stick into the creme center of each sandwich cookie and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the white chocolate chips and coconut oil to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring in between each, until just melted and the mixture is smooth. Vigorously stir in the food coloring until the desired color is achieved.
- Working carefully but quickly, hold a cookie by the lollipop stick, place over the bowl and use a small spoon or offset spatula to cover the cookie with the neon green chocolate. Transfer back to the baking sheet and immediately decorate with eyeballs. Repeat with the remaining cookies and neon green chocolate. Let the lollipops set for 30 minutes before serving.
