Me too, but it's not like the title was misleading.

Does it expire?

I really don't know. It would probably eventually go bad but I've never had it long enough to find out.

Candy corn is 78% sugar, If you keep the sugar concentration above about 50% nothing can grow and it'll last almost forever on a shelf (like jam, though jam can separate so it's possible for the top to mold).
So if you make it with 2parts candy corn to 1 part water it'll most likely be good on a shelf for years, otherwise refrigerate and set an expiry date, maybe a year.

This is awesome! How does it taste? Does it actually taste like candy corn or is it just like a sugary water taste?

It does actually taste like candy corn.
