The preparation of a Snickers Pie involves chopping the Snickers bars into small pieces and mixing them with the cream cheese and powdered sugar. This mixture is then spread into the pie crust and topped with whipped cream. The pie is typically refrigerated for several hours or overnight before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
