Answer:
22.

Eat 15 candies and return the 15 wrappers

u get 5 more candies.

eat 3 more candies and return 3 more wrappers from the 5 new candies and get 1 more candy

Now you have total 2+1 candies left....

eat them and return their wrappers

and get one more candy......

so 22 candies in TOTAL.
