Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings.
Melt butter with drippings in same pan over medium heat. Add bell pepper, scallion whites and light greens, and jalapeño; cook until softened, 3–5minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Deglaze pan with sherry, scraping up any brown bits. Cook until sherry is nearly evaporated.
Add corn, edamame, cream, and sugar; simmer until cream thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir scallion greens into Maque Choux and season with salt and pepper.
