Pour white chocolate mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Add eggs and granulate sugar and whisk to combine.
Stir in flour and nuts with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Grease a large 11x17" jelly-roll cookie sheet.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow brownies to cool before adding icing.
WHITE CHOCOLATE ICING:
Melt butter and white chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat.
Remove from burner.
Add powdered sugar and milk and whisk to combine.
Then add a dash of salt and vanilla.
Rapidly spread white chocolate icing over cooled brownies quickly so frosting stays smooth.

Stir and microwave again an additional 30 seconds.
Stir again and then microwave an additional 10-15 seconds or so until chips melt completely.

Lightly drizzle semi-sweet chocolate chip glaze over top of each individual brownie.
Allow chocolate to set again before serving.
Notes
NOTE: My original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups regular unbleached all-purpose flour. Most gluten free mixes can be made with this amount. I actually used 3 1/2 cups of Pamela's baking mix. It is NOT an equivalent mix. The taste is also off. You will probably need about 1 1/2 cups of most regular gluten free flour blends.NOTE: I prefer using Cup4Cup GF flour.NOTE: This is better if the batter is spread thinly into a cookie sheet jelly-roll style pan rather than baking it in a 9x13" glass or metal baking pan. That way the brownies won't puff up too much around the edges and cave in the middle of the pan.NOTE: I highly recommend refrigerating the brownies a couple of hours before cutting into them and adding the chocolate glaze. That allows the brownies to come out of the pan more smoothly. I was in a hurry and had to omit this step.NOTE: Depending on the size pan you use, these will make about 32-48 brownies.NOTE: These will take much longer to bake in a 9x13" glass baking dish then if you bake in a cookie sheet. Start checking for doneness after about 25 minutes of baking time if using a cookie sheet. If all you have is a 9x13" dish, these may take almost an hour to bake thoroughly.NOTE: I really do not recommend using Pamela's baking and pancake mix or Artisan mix for any kind of recipe. It's not an equivalent for regular all-purpose flour. Nor does it taste as well as other GF flours.
