To a slow cooker, add the corn, cream cheese cubes, butter slices, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Set the slow cooker on high and cook for 2 hours. Stir after 1 hour.
When the timer goes off, remove the lid and stir. You can add the bacon crumbles and chives to the slow cooker or you can serve the creamed corn and then top it with the bacon crumbles and chives.
