that was just the last time i had opened it, was 8 months ago. it's actually a couple years old, or older.

Yes it can get moldy. But the white that you are seeing may be sugar crystals. If it is fuzzy then it is mold, if it looks more like sugar crystals then this is part of the aging process and is good.
