Pecan Pralines

I love pecan pralines. I have checked several recipes and failed in both endeavors. They were edible but not good. I don't think it's the recipe itself. I just haven't found the 'feel' for it.

This is one of the recipes I used as well as the link:

I need to find another one to try. I had another recipe that used buttermilk. Dummy me didn't add the karo syrup so they turned out grainy.

Any suggestions?
